Here is a shot of the princess at another nice location along the loop - Sceale Bay (pronounced Scale)...
From the lookout this is what you will see - lots of lazy loafers (Sea Lions) lounging around the waters edge. They are quite big the males can get to 400kgs!!
A half day trip from Streaky Bay will take visitors to the only mainland sea lion colony at Point Labatt about 50km south of Streaky Bay and back along some rugged Eyre Peninsula coastline. This family photo was taken at the lookout at Point Labatt...
Combined with the local Shell petrol station is the tourist information area. Inside you will find this replica White Pointer Shark which was caught on a 24 pound fishing line in 1990. At over 5m long it is supposed to be the biggest caught by this method....we have Joey, Ollie, Josh, & Bailey giving a comparison of its size...
We managed to 'fluke' the Christmas procession at Streaky Bay which was really well done considering the town has only about 1400 people. The community feel here is quite good...
The campsite we had at Streaky Bay was right on the foreshore - a beautiful spot!! Whilst a bit cool we missed out on some of the wild weather that other parts of Australia have had, for example Carnarvon in WA is currently flooding and two months ago was completely dry when we were there!!!
